    CS PhD students, is it normal to be afraid of false positives in MOSS?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 08:38 AM PST

    For the record, I strongly dislike cheaters for making assignment averages unusually high and ruining the curve for students who don't cheat. Because of them, I study extra hard for exams since I might not always do well on assignments.

    I currently work in the tech industry in an R&D group, and I do have some interest in pursuing a CS or statistics PhD in the future after I gain industry experience. However, what is holding me back besides leaving my current job is my fear of false positives in MOSS.

    In my MS program, I noticed that assignment averages are unusually high. For that reason, my program institutes a zero tolerance policy on cheating, where if MOSS finds matching code, even if you copy a 3 line routine from stack overflow that carries out a function that is non-critical to the operation of your program, you will have the same punishment as the student who copied all of the code from last semester. The resulting punishment would be an F and getting kicked out of school.

    Professors want to stop cheating, which I support. However, it seems that many of them take MOSS printouts as 100% valid undeniable evidence of cheating, rather than closely inspecting code and trying to find a more innocuous reason for the matching code.

    Udemy courses

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 02:57 PM PST

    Hey all,

    Are any of the AWS certification courses or the Cisco networking courses on udemy worth it? Sale on right now so thought it might be worth a spend.

    EDIT: Thanks for the replies. Should of been more specific, I knew they wouldn't get me the actual certification but was wondering how helpful they were in regards learning the material. Looking to expand my CV and these are two certifications I have been looking at for awhile.

    I bought on of the CISCO courses (has the most benefit to my current job) which had good reviews. Going to run through that and see how I get on.

    LTL Reforming reflexive Operators into irreflexive and otherwise

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 08:23 PM PST

    Hello

    ​

    my professor said that we can transform the reflexive Finally, Globally and Until into irreflexive Finally, Globally, Until.

    ​

    Can someone explain me this?

    How do you pronounce SQL?

    I was just thinking about it and thought I'd ask. Do you guys say "sequel" or do you say the letters?

    Why does 0.1+0.3 = 0.4?

    Posted: 27 Nov 2019 07:10 AM PST

    If you sum 0.1+0.2 in most programming languages, you get 0.30000000000000004, because in floating point arithmetic 0.1 and 0.2 are periodic tithings and therefore cannot be exactly represented in binary machines. (try to sum 0.1+0.2 in js, c, c++, java, matlab or another language and you will get a weird response)

    The point is: 0.1+0.3 should generate the same error, for the same reason, but it doesn't. Why?
